Les Mills Combat is here to order!  This is the ultimate mixed martial arts–inspired workout program! Get ready to punch, kick, block, and strike your way to an outrageously shredded body with 7 calorie-blasting and muscle-defining workouts.

The 3 Les Mills Combat package, in my humble opinion, seem like a great deal.  $59 for a 60 day MMA style workout program is a very good deal.  Personally I am going to go for the Supreme or Ultimate package so I can get those weighted gloves!  I also might want those extra 4 workouts that come with the Ultimate package, which puts it in line with other Beachbody programs like P90X, TurboFire and Insanity.

If you love MMA style workouts then check out Les Mills Combat!

This program ships in December, before Christmas.  It will be first come first serve so if you want to to be the first to receive Les Mills Combat then be sure to pre-order right away!

Beachbody Coaching Opportunity is finally coming to Canada! 

There are some details to understand first, so Please READ THIS WHOLE POST before you assume anything.

Canadian Beachbody Coaching is opening up on October 1st 2012!

I know that many of you have been waiting a long time for this to happen and it was finally announced TODAY!  Starting October 1st, Canadians can sign up to become Beachbody Coaches by enerting into the “pre-launch” phase of the process. On OCTOBER 1st, Canadian citizens will be allowed to sign up for the U.S. teambeachbody coaching opportunity. 

Details about Canada Beachbody Coaching

Canadian citizens can sign up for the U.S. coaching opportunity.  This means you will be a teambeachbody coach just like a U.S. citizen would be, and that you will receive commission payments in U.S. dollars and get U.S. tax documents for your coaching business.  Once final launch is complete (estimated to be mid 2013), your U.S. Beachbody coaching business will seamlessly transition to a Canada Beachbody coaching business account with Canadian currency, Canadian tax documents, and a Canadian distribution center for your customers.  You won’t lose any customers or downline coaches when the full launch happens.

The Canada Beachbody Coaching “Pre-Launch” is simply your opportunity to get started now (october 1st)!  Be the first in your area to plug people into challenge groups, get them moving toward a healthy and fit lifestyle, and be able to be their official Canada Beachbody coach!

Canada Beachbody Coaching RULES

There are some rules associated with the Canada Beachbody Coaching “Pre-Launch” (things that you can’t do as a Canadian Beachbody coach until full launch is complete in 2013)

• You can’t “re-sell”.  This means you can’t buy products from teambeachbody and then re-sell them on the market.  You need to have your customers order through teambeachbody.  Honestly, that’s the only way I do business anyways, so this shouldn’t affect you a bit.

• You can’t advertise.  No newspaper ads.  No soliciting.  You CAN, however, run fit clubs, invite people to join challenge groups, etc.  Basically, this shouldn’t affect you either because Beachbody is already doing the advertising.  We simply help the people around us plug in and reach their goals.  Set up groups.  Get people plugged in.  Help them succeed.  Make a difference!

That’s it.  So as you can see, you now have the long awaited opportunity to be part of the U.S. Beachbody Coach network as a Canada Beachbody Coach!  You can grow your base of customers and coaches, and start to tap into an untapped market.   I am super stoked that the opportunity is finally here!

How Canada Beachbody Coaching relates to retail sellers

As those of you in Canada know, some Beachbody merchandise is available through retail outlets like Walmart.  They will continue to stay for the next several months, but Beachbody is planning to phase them out of the retail market as the Canadian network grows.  There is simply no substitute for having a coach to hold someone accountable and motivate them to reach their full potential, and that’s what’s been missing with the retail approach … until now!  Plus, the teambeachbody price will be LESS than retail in Canada, so you will have the competitive advantage over the “walmarts” with your new Canada Beachbody Coaching business.

All contests like the Beachbody Challenge are open to Canadian citizens and coaches, so you’ll definitely want to encourage the people you coach to enter them and win prizes.

And of course, when you sign up as a coach, I will follow up with you and plug you into our team training to get you off to a roaring start as a Canada Beachbody Coach.  There are nearly 90,000 Beachbody coaches in the U.S. right now, and there is still a LOT of room for more.  Obesity is an epidemic here.  And it is in Canada too.  And right now there are 0 Beachbody coaches in Canada.  You do the math.  What an opportunity!

Remember, you can’t sign up until October 1st.  But on October 1st the doors swing wide open!  Be ready to take advantage of this MONUMENTAL opportunity if you are passionate about helping people get healthy and fit!

To study more about teambeachbody coaching and decide if it’s a good fit for you, I’ve put some FAQ’s together HERE.

If you want a full FAQ on the specifics of the Canada Beachbody Coaching opportunity (beyond what I’ve shared here) I’ll put that together and post it early next week.

To sum it all up, the Coach Summit 2012 was UNBELIEVABLE.  This year the coach summit was held in Las Vegas.  I know that Las Vegas is probably the last place you think about when it comes to health/fitness but when you have over 6,000 coaches taking over a casino, it becomes one.  The Coach Summit was held at the MGM Hotel/Casino.  It ended up being the perfect place for us.  Lots of room for workouts, a huge stadium for the main events and celebrations, and a giant outdoor pool area for parties.

Summit 2012 was more than just hearing about new products, learning how to become better coaches, and having a good time with 6,000 of our closest friends…it was also about our friend Jessica.  Jessica was a Grand Prize Finalist for the Beachbody Challenge!  She was 1 of 4 women chosen to possibly win the $100,000.  For Katie and I, this is what coaching is all about.  This is why we are coaches.  We were there to celebrate her transformation, her 85lb+ weight loss, and the new healthy life that she has now that she has chosen to live.  Even though she didn’t win the Grand Prize, she walked away with $25,000 and an unbelievable experience.

Day 1

We arrived in Vegas on Thursday and had a chance to go straight down to the festivities.  Beachbody had taken over the convention center.  Everywhere you turn there were coaches wearing P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, Shakeology, apparel.  We saw many friends on our way to the CORE (a mini shopping mall with apparel, shakeology bar, programs to buy, a stage for the trainers, contests, etc).  It was pretty incredible.  After killing some time we were off to the first workout of the trip.  Tony Horton hosted a GIANT workout in one of the many enormous convention halls.  I was lucky enough to be on stage with Tony, Mark Briggs, Joel Sydanmaa, and Monica Parodi, to name a few.  Working out in front of a room of people as far as you can see was amazing.  Tony took everyone through his UMLC routine that he does on his military tours.  Afterward we took pictures and I had many comments about my black socks.  Even got some Edgar Allen Poe references :).

That night was the 5 Year Birthday Bash for Team Beachbody.  It was held by the pool and it was PACKED.  There were cirque du soleil style performers, places to take pictures, food, drinks, dancing, and even fireworks that they shot over the MGM hotel.  Amazing!!

 Day 2

Waking up at 5:30am in Las Vegas just doesn’t seem natural…haha.  But that’s what you do when you have Shaun T, Chalene Johnson, the Les Mills Trainers, Dr. Mark Cheng, and others hosting workouts.  Being the loyal Turbo Girl that Katie is, we went to Chalene’s workout.  Yes, I went and did TurboFire with Katie and a bunch of coordinated Turbo fanatics at 6:30am ;).  It was actually a GREAT cardio workouts.  I was dripping after we were finished.  Chalene knows how to work the crowd and she does it without breaking a beat.  Way more fun than I had anticipated.  Even made me forget how early it was.

The main session came later that morning.  This is where we learned about all the latest and greatest products coming out in the coming year.  Some of the highlights were:

• Body BEAST:  A new MASS gaining program that uses Dynamic Set Training to build muscle mass like a body builder.  They also introduced the newest training to Beachbody, Sagi Kalev.  I think Sagi was out on stage for about 10 secs before he was taking his shirt off…the dude is HUGE.   Body BEAST is out Now!  See the program section!
• Asylum Vol 2 – Elite Sports Training:  Asylum vol 2 was announced and we got a glimpse of some of the workouts.   I didn’t think they could make Asylum any tougher but it looks like they did.  They even have Apollo Ono as a spokesperson for it.  Look for it coming out THIS FALL 2012.
• Chocolate Vegan Shakeology:  This is the brand new flavor for the Ultimate vegan line of Shakeology.  It has a Dark chocolate flavor with some new added super foods.  This is also out now!  We had a chance to taste it and it might even be better than the current chocolate.  Yep, it’s true.  This is now available!
• Les Mills Combat:  They are expanding the Les Mills line by offering a new program called COMBAT.  This is a MMA style workout that uses hard pumping music to keep up your intensity.  Pre-Orders will begin in the Fall of 2012 with a December release date.  If you have Les Mills Pump advanced dvds then you have tried this style of workout…it’s a blast.
• Derm Exclusive:  Beachbody has a skin care line…yep, news to me too.  They have decided to offer it through coaches now.  So you can order it through me as well.  No I haven’t used it ;).

From the main session we went to extra trainings where we got to listen to some of the top coaches on how to become better at coaching all of you.  Lots of great info.  From there Tony Horton hosted another workout that night.  Once again, I was up on stage with him.  He took everyone through CVX (Cardio Vascular Extreme) which is a brand new workout we shot for all the P90X certified coaches last month.  This is a tough workout when I filmed it and it was just as tough this time.  Afterward there were more pictures and then we had to rush off to the Diamond Reception.

The Diamond Reception is for all coaches who are Diamond and higher.  Since I fall into this category I was able to go.  It was held at Wet Republic, which is an exclusive pool / bar/ scene at the MGM.  I was also lucky enough to go to the VIP area with Tony and his mini entourage.  This part was an absolute blast.  Great Food, dancing, pictures, atmosphere, people, etc….just a great time.  Katie and I snuck off after it ended and had not 1, not 2 but 3 desserts.  What’s Vegas without a little debauchery It was a good day ;).

Day 3

SUPER WORKOUT!  Day 3 started once again at 5:30 am…what?!?  We were up again to go workout but this time it was for the Super Workout that was held right off the Las Vegas Strip.  This time every single trainer would be there, giving it their best for 15-20 mins.  There were over 5000 coaches working out together.  It was awesome.  I was able to go on stage again with Mark, Joel, Monica, and of course the man himself, Tony Horton.  We took the crowd through the new MMX (Mixed Martial-Arts Xtreme) another workout we shot for the P90X certified coaches.  To say it was an outer body experience would be selling it short.  It was crazy.  I was truly awestruck by all the people in the crowd.  The 20 mins went by in a blur and we were then off to the next session.

More great speakers and info from Beachbody Corporate.  We were also able to hear from the Co-Creator of Shakeology about the benefits of the Ultimate Reset, which I am now sold on trying later this year.  As well as Dr. Marcus Elliott who heads up P3 and helped Tony develop P90X2 and the PAP workouts.

I even joined a pull up contest where I did 35 or 36 (I can’t remember) pull ups.  That was pretty fun :).

The day was a whirlwind with the main event of the night being the celebration event.  This was a fun time.  We were able to celebrate the top coaches as well as the Beachbody Challenge Finalists.  Jessica was up on stage getting her $25,000 and it was the perfect climax to the whole trip.  The after party went late into the night.  You might not think coaches know how to party but wow, there were some crazy times at that after party.  Dancing, dessert (my favorite), drinks and good times all around.

Day 4

At this point we felt like we were there for longer than 4 days.  To say that our trip was packed would be an understatement.  We slept in as much as we could before heading back on the road.  Got to meet some coaches for breakfast, say our goodbyes and wait for next year.

The Coach Summit is an unbelievable experience that gives you long lasting memories.  Being with 6,000 like minded coaches is great.  Watching the coaching network grow from year to year has been awesome.  It is so great to see that we are committing to making a change in America when it comes to health and fitness.  As coaches we are striving to pay it forward and helping as many people change their lives through these great fitness programs.   This is an event that you MUST get to next year.  It’s not only fun, educational and motivating but it’s life changing.  Workout with your favorite trainers, learn about the latest and greatest products, educate yourself and come hang out with me and all the other coaches from around the country!

Who is Sagi Kalev?

Sagi Kalev, creator of BODY BEAST, has been a bodybuilder since the age of 16. He credits a four-year tour of duty in the Israeli army with teaching him the discipline, focus, determination, and respect he brings to his bodybuilding training.

Drawing on his education (a degree in physical education from the University of Central Florida with a minor in nutrition), Sagi has written a nutrition plan specifically for the BODY BEAST workout. And his many years of experience in training bodybuilding competitors serve as the foundation for the program itself.

After graduating from college, Sagi pursued a fitness modeling and acting career. He has competed in numerous bodybuilding competitions and has won two “Mr. Israel” titles along with a number of others. He’s also appeared on the cover of Men’s Workout, Iron Man, and Muscle & Fitness magazines, and several other publications.

After many years of modeling and entering shows, in 2003 Sagi decided to change his focus to personal training and working with people of all age levels, to help them get healthy and in excellent physical condition.

Sagi Kalev maintains the same philosophy he’s carried through his fitness career: To not just be the biggest, but to be the best at what he does.

With BODY BEAST, it’s about technique and building a strong foundation—not just lifting the heaviest weights you can. It’s about changing how you feel about yourself by improving your self image. Let Sagi Kalev show you the way.

Here are the Tropical Shakeology Ingredients and Nutrition facts:

Click Here to Try Shakeology!

Whole Food Based!

Another great aspect of the Tropical Shakeology Ingredients is that it is completely whole food based.  You won’t find any synthetic vitamins/minerals in here.  That is very uncommon, and I am very happy to see it. Whole foods are the best source of anything.  Our bodies can absorb and process whole food based vitamins/minerals much better than the synthetic versions, so you get more bang for you buck.  Beachbody is extremely particular when it comes to what they put into Shakeology, that is why it took them so long to come out with a 3rd flavor.  But it was well worth the wait. 

What are some of the NEW Tropical Shakeology Ingredients?

Since Beachbody is constantly looking to up their game when it comes to the quality of their products, it has come to no surprise that they are introducing brand new ingredients into Tropical Shakeology.  Darin Olein, the c0-creator of Shakeology, is constantly searching for the latest and greatest that nature has to offer.  I remember him talking about some of these great new ingredients when I heard him speak at the coach summit last year.

Konjac Root: Contains glucomannan, a soluble dietary fiber that absorbs 200 times its weight in water. What that does is slow down how quickly the stomach empties after a meal so you feel fuller longer. It also promotes satiety for reduced cravings.

Himalayan Salt: The stuff is completely natural, free from toxins, relatively untouched, and as a result, still contains more than 70 trace minerals. Himalayan salt actually helps to contribute to the sweetness of a product as well.

L uo Han Guo: This is a low-calorie, low glycemic fruit that lends complex sweetness to foods. It is traditionally used in Asia for medicinal purposes. It works as and antioxidant and help support the immune system. The low-glycemic nature of Luo Han guo helps maintain health blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss.

Coconut Flower Nectar: A naturally sweet, nutrient-rich nectar that comes from coconut blossoms. It contains amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, and a broad spectrum of B vitamins. This too is naturally low on the glycemic index which means that it will produce a slow energy release instead of a spike and crash in energy. This ingredients is also sustainably sourced.

I am extremely excited to add Tropical Shakeology to my diet because of these awesome ingredients.  It is always good to keep mixing things up and trying new things.  I think that adding a great plant based protein into my diet will only help.  The Tropical Shakeology ingredients sounds awesome and I hope and if it tastes as good as it did when I tried the “beta” version, I know that you will all love it.

In the program section you will find Les Mills Pump, Beachbody newest program.  Yes, even newer than P90X2.  Les Mills Pump is the home version of Body Pump, that you can find in gyms around the nation.  These classes are widely popular so it is very cool that Beachbody brought them to the home fitness world.  This program is based upon the idea of the “Rep Effect”.  Where you lift light weight for many reps.  This gets your heart rate extremely high so you burn calories and sculpt lean muscle.  The program comes with a barbell and weights, and is available in a Base Kit, Ultimate Kit and Upgrade kits.  There is even a Ab workout called Core that you can buy as a stand a lone to add to your current programs.  Pump is also schedule to be fit into other programs very easily.  It is perfect to hybrid with P90X, P90X2, Insanity, Asylum or TurboFire.

I also added 10 Minute Trainer to the program section.  This is something that has been requested for a long time so I decided to finally add it.  Personally I love these workouts because they are short and intense.  The 10 Minute Ab routine is literally the hardest 10 min ab workout I have ever done.  These workouts are great for those who have very little time and want to get a quick but extremely effective workout in.  As you get stronger you can add a couple together and get 10, 20 and 30 min workouts.  They are also great to add to other programs for a little something extra.

In the “Gear” section of the site you will find the Brand New P90X2 Equipement!  This is for those who didn’t get a chance to buy the Ultimate or Deluxe kits and want to add on the equipment to their P90X2 Base Kits.  They all come with the advanced DVDs as well.  Where you can see V-Sculpt (one of the P90X2 workouts that I am in).  I also added the X2 Stability Balls, X2 Rumble Roller, X2 Foam Roller and X2 Med Balls.  This is all the equipment that I use personally and is all very good quality.  For those who travel or use resistance bands, you can also find the band set with door attachments.  Another cool thing that Team Beachbody is offering is that you can buy the P90X2 Nutrition guide separately!  There are also P90X2 posters, so check those out as well.

I have added some Asylum gear that you can now buy separately as well.  So if you were looking for an extra Agility Ladder or Speed Rope, you can not get it through the site as well.  Did your Strength Bands break from all the wear and tear of Asylum?  Mine did, so I ordered some extra Strength Bands as well.

In case you didn’t hear, Team Beachbody has made a great pre-workout supplement called E&E Energy and Endurance pre-workout supplement, that you can now find here on the site in the “Supplement” section.  I will be adding my impressions and review as soon as It arrives.  (it should be here tomorrow).

Lastly, I also added Apparel to the “Gear” section of the site.  You will find a couple new items in there, including some new T-Shirts and Tank Tops.  Beachbody is also coming out with Branded clothing for their programs.  I had a chance to preview some of these collections at the leadership conference and I was VERY impressed.  They can be compared to brands like Under Armor and Nike.  Very cool.  The first ones released will be TurboFire apparel and P90X apparel.  New t-shirts, shorts, jackets, tanks, workout pants, etc.  I will be adding those when they come out in February.

Well that is it for the updates for now.  Please let me know if you would like me to add anything else.  I will be cleaning up some of the sections and making them into drop down menus for easier organization so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.  Let me know if you find any links that don’t seem to work!

Beachbody

I have been hearing that Beachbody has been working on a pre-workout for quite some time now so It is great to see them finally come out with it.  I am not a fan of all Pre-workouts so I am excited to try this one and see how it is.  I have been sticking away from those ultra stimulant based pre-workout supplements lately so I will be curious to see just how powerful it is.  It looks like a great P90X or P90X2 pre -workout supplements for those of you looking for an energy boost.

Beachbody is claiming that the E&E Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout formula will help you:

• Burn more calories and fat to get ripped faster.
• Maximize muscle performance to build muscle faster.

E&E Energy and Endurance features a proprietary blend of advanced nitric oxide boosters, essential B vitamins, electrolytes, and natural energizers to help you power through your workouts!

E&E Energy and Endurance contains:

• Beta Alanine: Amino Acid that may enhance muscular enduranc
• L-Glutamine: Amino Acid that is known to aid recovery from Hard Training
• Quercetin: Bioflavonoid that may promote mental clairty and focus during a workout
• Bromelain and Papaya Extract:  Ingredients known to help increase absorption of nutrients.
• Phosphatidylserine: May help promote mental clarity and focus
• Rhodiola Extract: Root extract known to help suport Energy and Endurance
• D-Ribose: Known to help provide energy to the body.

What’s the difference between E&E Energy and Endurance and other pre-workout supplements?

• No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives.
• No high-risk or untested ingredients.

I love the fact there are no artificial flavors or sweeteners the best myself.  It looks as though it is moderately priced and that you will need to take 1-2 scoops depending on how intense your workout is.  Having taken pre-workouts before I am curious if those who aren’t stimulant sensitive will take 2-4 scoops.

The Tai Cheng workout is based on classical Tai-Chi techniques, ancient Chi Kung practices, and modern corrective exercise patterns that both rehab and prehab the body, improving the body’s metabolism, joint function, stress management, and athletic performance! Which to me sounds pretty cool. Check out the latest video below!

What is the Tai Cheng Program Like?

Tai Cheng is a 13 week regimen that delivers tremendous benefits, whether you’re doing the first level moves and using the support of a wall or you’re an elite athlete who is looking to improve your athletic performance in safer, more holistic ways.

Every day, Tai Cheng takes you through a gentle energizing warm up and teaches you a new Tai-Chi move. These workouts are designed to improve balance, awaken dormant energy sources, tone and strengthen your muscles, soothe stiffness, and increase your range of motion.

Is the Tai Cheng For You?

Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

• Are you ready to improve your metabolism and physical stamina?
• Have you been trying to figure out how to begin exercising after a long layoff?
• Do you want to improve your body’s ranges of motion, balance, and neuromuscular control?
• Are you tired of doing workouts that leave you unable to function the next day due to pain or injury?
• Are you interested in martial arts but not eager to show up to work with a black eye, busted lip, or twisted ankle?

Who is Dr. Mark Cheng?

Mark Cheng became fascinated by Chinese martial arts early in childhood, gaining his first exposure to Tai-Chi from his father. He later went on to study acupuncture and other forms of Chinese medicine, specializing in orthopedics, eventually earning licensure to practice acupuncture in the State of California and a Ph.D. in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Through his involvement with Chinese medicine, he also became fascinated with strength and conditioning training, studying closely with Russian Kettlebell Challenge founder, Pavel Tsatsouline. Under Tsatsouline, Dr. Cheng met Functional Movement Systems founder and physical therapy guru, Gray Cook. While studying with Cook, Dr. Cheng became increasingly fascinated with Tai-Chi as a means of functional movement training and injury rehabilitation.

Few, if any, instructors bring together the rare mix of martial arts mastery, strength and conditioning authority, Chinese medicine knowledge, and functional movement training expertise to fitness like Dr. Cheng does.

When will Tai Cheng Be Released?
